About this home

Two distinct living environments come together on one private West Adams property: a character filled three bedroom main residence and a detached one bedroom ADU built by Cover. Connected by a series of thoughtfully designed outdoor entertaining spaces, with separate alley access and a two car garage with creative workspace. At the rear of the property, the detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom Cover ADU creates a genuinely independent second living environment. It has its own dedicated alley access, allowing occupants to come and go without passing through the main home's backyard, together with its own parking space behind the deck and a covered area suitable for bicycles or motorcycles. Full-height sliding glass doors open the ADU onto a private hardwood deck with privacy screening, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection. A second outdoor area at the rear provides additional space for dining or relaxing. The ADU is equipped with a ceiling-integrated heating and cooling system together with an air-filtration system designed to improve indoor air quality. Its ventilation system can also draw in cooler outside air, helping keep the interior comfortable during much of the year. There is a Asker washer dryer in the bedroom. The main residence is filled with natural light, with windows in every room and original oak hardwood floors adding warmth and character throughout. It offers three bedrooms and two beautifully finished bathrooms, including an en-suite bathroom connected directly to the primary bedroom and a second bathroom with shower accessed from the hallway. Originally there was one bathroom, Sellers reworked the to create the two beautiful bathrooms the house features today. The rear bedroom also opens directly to the yard. From the kitchen, step onto a redwood deck designed as two distinct outdoor living areas: one for dining and another for relaxing around the fire pit. Surrounded by mature landscaping and palms, the deck feels secluded and inviting, while a gate allows the space to be closed off for additional privacy. At the heart of the property, the shared courtyard between the main residence, ADU and garage creates another substantial outdoor living area. Designed for entertaining, it includes a pergola-covered dining area, barbecue and pizza oven, along with permanent vegetable planters beside the established lemon tree. The Sellers have also recently updated the backyard with stamped concrete and brick paving. The two-car garage adds further flexibility, with a half bathroom and an adjoining bonus room suitable for use as an office, studio or workshop. Rear alley access provides convenient independent entry to both the garage and ADU. The location adds another layer of convenience, with Culver City's restaurants and shops nearby, access to the Expo Line for connections to Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica and USC/Exposition Park just a few minutes away, and major freeways within easy reach. With a three-bedroom main residence, detached one-bedroom ADU, multiple outdoor living areas, separate access and flexible garage/workspace, the property offers an unusually versatile setup for living, working, hosting and potential rental income.
